Netiquette rules are a list of things to follow for correct behaviour on the internet. There is an endless list of Netiquette rules but here are some that everyone can remember…

 

 

• Include a subject line

Subject lines are important to include because it is polite and is also easier for the reader to know what the email, post ext. is about 😆.

• Identify yourself (state your name)

Your name is very much needed in anything you send to someone. If you don’t say who you are people may think they are talking to a stranger.

• Avoid using sarcasm 😔

Sarcasm can be mistaken as an insult or something that is was not set out to be. It is very difficult to add expression on electronic devices and so the best thing to do is avoid it all together.

• Use intensifiers eg. YAY!!!  😄

Intensifiers help deliver meaning. If ‘yay’ is written like this: yay. It will send a different meaning then this: YAY!!!
Intensifiers also make your text more interesting.

• Use emoticons ☺

Emojis are AWESOME!!! 😍. Everything is better with emojis. Posts or emails or any piece of text can go from dull and boring to intriguing and fun all because of emojis 😂.

• Be concise

Nobody likes a writer that rambles on about the littlest things, so be short sharp but also use purposeful sentences when writing. This will make your piece of text more interesting and people are more likely to actually read it 😛.

• Be polite ❤

The golden rule of netiquette:  ‘Do the same to others as you would do to yourself.’
Always follow this rule. Think before you do and ask yourself if you want to live life knowing that you crushed someone else’s.
